FAQ
How we work, what we need from you, and what to expect at each stage of a project. If something is not covered here, ask us directly.
We work on physical products, machinery and equipment, including mobile units and trailers, control enclosures, industrial and agricultural equipment, workshop equipment, structural assemblies, prototypes, custom furniture, and other solutions. Projects can range from a single part or prototype to a complete machine or production-ready product.
We do not manufacture in-house. We focus on engineering and design, and can work directly with your manufacturer or with external manufacturing partners involved in the project. We can also provide production documentation and technical support during manufacturing, assembly, and installation.
Yes. We work with clients, suppliers, and manufacturing partners internationally across different regions and markets. We do not work with countries or entities where international sanctions, trade restrictions, or other legal limitations prevent us from doing so.
No. We can work from detailed specifications, early-stage ideas, sketches, or reference materials. If the concept is not yet fully defined, we begin by clarifying the requirements, constraints, priorities, and intended use before moving into design.
Send us whatever information is currently available: a project description, sketches, drawings, CAD files, photos, technical requirements, dimensions, loads, expected production volume, or manufacturing constraints. You do not need to have everything defined before contacting us. We will identify what additional information is needed during the initial review.
A preliminary estimate usually takes 1–3 business days after we receive the basic project information, depending on the scope and amount of material to review. A detailed quotation may take longer if drawings, specifications, manufacturing requirements, or other technical information need to be reviewed in more detail.
For projects with a defined scope and deliverables, we usually provide a fixed price. Hourly billing is mainly used for additional consultations and additional technical support requested outside the agreed project scope. Larger projects can be divided into stages, with the deliverables and cost agreed for each stage. Any additional work outside the original scope is estimated and agreed separately before it begins.
We review the information you provide, ask the questions needed to define the task, and then propose a clear scope of work with deliverables, timeline, and cost. Work begins once everything is agreed.
Project duration depends on the scope, complexity, available input data, review cycles, and whether testing or manufacturing feedback is required. We define the expected timeline before work begins. Larger projects are usually divided into stages with agreed deliverables and milestone dates.
Revisions are part of the process. We share progress at agreed milestones, review your feedback, test results, and manufacturing input, and make the necessary changes before moving to the next stage. The number of revision cycles is defined in the project scope. Additional changes or new requirements outside the agreed scope may affect the timeline and cost.
Depending on the project scope, deliverables may include 3D models, manufacturing drawings with GD&T, bills of materials, technical specifications, analysis or calculation reports, and production files for cutting and bending where applicable. File formats are agreed in advance to match your manufacturing workflow, equipment, and requirements.
Yes. Materials, manufacturing processes, tooling, assembly methods, production volumes, and cost targets are considered from the beginning of the project. If a manufacturer has already been selected, we design around their actual equipment, process capabilities, production constraints, and economic requirements.
Yes. For existing products, we review the design and current manufacturing process to identify the main cost drivers and bottlenecks. For new products, we consider the target cost, expected production volume, available manufacturing methods, and technical requirements from the beginning. Recommendations may include changes to materials, tolerances, part count, manufacturing methods, or assembly. If the target cost is not realistic for the current concept, we identify what would need to change.
Yes. Our team includes manufacturing engineers, so we can support the project beyond the design stage, including technical coordination with the manufacturer, resolving production-related issues, and making necessary design or documentation updates during manufacturing, assembly, and installation. Support is usually provided remotely, with on-site involvement when required and feasible.
We use staged design reviews, engineering calculations where required, manufacturability checks, and client approvals at key project milestones. For projects involving prototypes, testing, or manufacturing validation, the design can be reviewed and updated based on actual results before proceeding to the next stage.
We can sign an NDA before receiving confidential or sensitive information. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, the client receives the rights to the project-specific designs and documentation developed under the agreed scope after full payment of all amounts due under the project. Our pre-existing know-how, methods, templates, and general engineering experience remain our intellectual property.
